Outeiro - Santiago

Ponte Ulla is left behind, continuing parallel to the N-525 towards the next town. In this section you can see the famous Pico Sacro, of great importance in the Jacobean tradition, since it is the first place from where you could see the towers of the Cathedral of Santiago, and it is the place where, according to legend, they were the oxen of Queen Lupa.
At 4km we find Outeiro, a place that has a hostel for those who prefer to extend the previous stage. From here you continue to the town of Lestedo, in the neighboring town of Boqueixón. In a section where asphalt predominates, we continue towards A Susana, each time closer to the entrance to Santiago de Compostela. You have to avoid various road and train crossings, until you reach the beautiful hermitage of Santa Lucía, to continue along the Camiño Real de Piñeiro and continue to the place of Angrois.
Breathing becomes short when crossing the high-speed tracks that were the scene of the terrible train accident that occurred in July 2013. In the accident, 79 people died and the survivors were helped by the residents of this Compostela village, recognized worldwide for their altruism.

The march continues along the Calzada do Sar, from where the Cidade da Cultura de Galicia can be seen at the top, to then offer a view of the city of Santiago de Compostela. The neighborhood of Sar shows the pilgrim its fabulous Colexiata de Santa María, with its sloping pillars.
You cross the river over the stone bridge and you have to make one last effort: climb the Castrón Douro slope towards the old town of Santiago, where the Obradoiro Square and the Cathedral await the pilgrim. Check here the 10 things to do in Santiago.
